The borderlands of the Northwest Hills Planning Region are defined by the convergence of the Berkshire Co line and the Massachusetts-Connecticut state boundary. This area, largely comprised of high-elevation swamps and ponds, is anchored by small rural centers such as Sandisfield, Southfield, and Montville. The landscape is a network of water bodies, including the Thousand Acre Swamp Reservoir and East Indies Pond, which once powered local mills and agricultural pursuits. Genealogists will find a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the New Marlborough Cem, Dubois Cem, and Pond Town Cem. To the south, the terrain drops towards the Blackberry River and Campbell Falls, marking a distinct shift in the watershed as the hills descend into the neighboring state.
